The Arizona Cardinals lost on Sunday in Week 5 34-20 to the Cincinnati Bengals. Before the game, safety Budda Baker, currently on injured reserve recovering from a hamstring injury, posted on social media about his impending return to the field.

He posted how he doesn’t have too much longer in street clothes and that he is “almost there.”
Baker was placed on injured reserve in Week 3 and must miss one more game. He will not be eligible to return in Week 6 to play the Los Angeles Rams on the road.
He could come back in Week 7 for their game on the road against the Seattle Seahawks.
Baker played only in the season opener. He was inactive in Week 2 and has been on IR ever since.
When the Cardinals face the Rams this week, they might also be missing fellow safety Jalen Thompson, who suffered a hamstring injury against the Bengals.
